It will be aimed at addressing the needs of the environment.
A midlands bog is being proposed as the site for a new €30m tourism development.
'Ireland's Climate House' will be based on Ballaghurt Bog, a five-hectare regenerating peatland in North Offaly, which will become a new visitor attraction aimed at addressing the country's enviromental needs.
The project has gone out to tender, and it's hoped planning permission can be submitted by July.
Offaly Green Party Senator and Junior Agriculture Minister Pippa Hackett says the development is proof of the midlands' commitment to delivering a sustainable future:
